Warning: This challenge has a high chance of having you watch really weird series or even shows you that you hate/dropped; the point of this challenge is to watch series you would not normally watch or had not found yet. So, you cannot skip nor drop shows. Back out while you still can.

HOW TO PLAY / RULES:

Start by picking one of your favorite anime series (must be a TV-type; any type is allowed after that as long as it was recommended) and indicate the date you will be starting the challenge.
——— Your starting series can be ongoing/airing

On that series' MAL page, go to the Recommendations tab

-Challenge Starts-

In the list of recommendations, pick the first series (searching from up to down) that you have not started yet. You must watch the first series that you have not completed from the recommendation list — meaning if you have started, dropped or put on-hold that series, you need to finish it before you can move on, even if the series was started before the challenge got put up.
——— I.e. Let's say that the first series recommended to your favorite is Naruto. If you have not seen it, you would have to watch it. However, if you've watched it already, then you can skip to the next series. You continue to skip series until you find one that you've not completed.

After you are done with the first series (the one recommended to your favorite), it's time for the next one. For the next series, go to the Recommendations tab of the series you just finished (the one recommended to your favorite) and watch the first series from the top that you have not completed yet, as you did for the previous.

Indicate the date you finished the series next to the anime's title.

Continue to do this until you have watched: 5 series = Easy
10 series = Medium
20 series = Hard
30 series = Conquered

If you come to a "dead end" (meaning you have completed everything that is recommended), you should return to the previous series and watch the next item recommended that you haven not seen.
——— Example:

After this, you get Shingeki no Kyojin again, but since you watched it already, you skip it and watch Tokyo Ghoul.

From there, you get the last one for easy and that would be Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu.But, let's say that you watched all the anime recommended for Tokyo Ghoul, so you've reached a "dead-end". You would then go back to Koutetsujou no Kabaneri and do the second series from the top that you haven't seen yet (like Owari no Seraph, Kiseijuu or Guilty Crown).

You can continue your list if you want to try the other difficulties.

You can watch multiple series from the list at the same time, but you can't "skip around". This means that you cannot finish the series that you would eventually get to complete until you finish the series that would lead you to that anime.
——— Example: Nichijou leads to Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, then Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou leads to Gintama. If you have yet to see any of those anime, that means you are following this pattern, so you cannot finish Gintama unless you have completed Nichijou and Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou.

This challenge can overlap with other challenges.

EXCEPTIONS:

If a second (or later) season is recommended but you have not seen all of the earlier seasons, watch it's earliest unseen season and continue the challenge from its recommendations.
——— I.e. Teekyuu 7 is recommended, but you've only seen Teekyuu 1, 2, and 3. You'll watch Teekyuu 4 instead and continue on from Teekyuu 4's recommendations.

Ongoing/Airing shows can be skipped (as in, pick the next series on the recommendation list that you have not finished yet) if you want.

If you choose not to skip an ongoing/airing show, as the rules stated above: one can only proceed to the next anime once one has completed the previous anime. Note that it will take you a while until you can start the next anime (because you have to wait for the airing/ongoing show to be completed).

Example with Explanation

Explanation: The starting series was Gundam Seed. From there, the first unfinished series recommended was Kakumeiki (which was previously started, but not finished yet - so it counts). Planning ahead, after Kakumeiki will be Guilty Crown (again, previously started but not finished). From Guilty Crown is Neon Genesis which was dropped and never finished - so it needs to be finished before being able to move on.

CONQUERED BADGE:For this badge-level, and this one alone, you may request an image. No other customization will be added besides the image, but you can still request a specific image. The series you request to be a conquered badge must have been something you watched during this challenge.

HOW? When you turn in your CONQUERED challenge completion, add to the post:@riho88riho@AYOSHINA
Conquered Completed
Series Requested:

All conquered badges made will be added and anyone may use them

NOTE: This challenge can be attempted twice per difficulty. For this you have to complete all difficulties (four separate attempts) once. Your second try has to be in a new post, with new entries. You must not add anything to your first try (previous post) after completed. Doing this challenge twice will earn you a x2 Badge. The badge will be of the same series, except with two images alternating/flashing (could be a GIF). More info here

Warning: This challenge has a high chance of having you watching really weird series or even shows you that you hate/dropped; the point of this challenge is to watch series you would not normally watch or had not found yet, there you cannot skip not drop shows. Back out while you still can.

How to:

Pick one of your favorite anime series (must be TV-type)

On that series' MAL page, select the Recommendations tab

-Challenge Starts-

In the list of recommendations, watch the first series (searching from up to down) that you have not started yet. I.e. if the first series recommended is, for example, Naruto and you have not seen it, watch Naruto. However, if you have, Naruto is out so find the next series that you have not started watching down the list.

After you are done with the first series, time for the next one. For the following series you have to watch, go to the previously watched series' Recommendations tab and watch the first series from the top that you haven not completed yet.

Continue to do this until you have watched
"5 series = easy
10 series = medium
20 series = hard
30 series = conquered"

If you come to a "dead end" (meaning you have completed everything that is recommended), you should return to the previous series and watch the next item recommended that you haven not seen.Example: "Say you start with Gundam Seed. From Gundam Seed you get to Valvrave. And from there you get to Guilty Crown. Then Neon Genesis Evangelion and finally Madoka Magica. But all of Madoka's recommendations you have already seen, so you've dead-ended. You then go back to NGE and do the second series from the top that you haven't seen yet (like RahXephon or Eureka Seven) and continue on from there."

If a second (or later) season is recommended but you have not seen all of the earlier seasons, watch the earliest unseen season and continue the challenge from its recommendationsEXAMPLE: Teekyuu 7 is recommended, but you've only seen Teekyuu 1, 2, and 3. You'll watch Teekyuu 4 instead and continue on from Teekyuu 4's recommendations.

RULES:

You must select the first series that you have not completed from the recommendation list — meaning if you have started, dropped or put on-hold that series, you need to finish it before you can move on, even if the series was started before the challenge got put up.

Your original/start series must be a TV-type, but any type is allowed after that as long as it was recommended

You cannot "skip around" (meaning you cannot start or finish the series that you would eventually get to complete, unless you finish the series that would lead you to that anime). For example, Nichijou leads to Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, then Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou leads to Gintama. If you have yet to see any of those anime, that means you are following this pattern. So you cannot start Gintama unless you have completed Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou.

This can overlap with other challenges, as long as you are following in order. For example, if you just finished Mobile Suit Gundam Seed for the Gundam Challenge, and it just happened to be the next recommended show you were supposed to watch in this challenge, because you already finished this anime, you are allowed to use it and count it for your this challenge list. Note: this skipping style can only be applied for Anime-based challenges in this club (as seen on club layout). Meaning other anime watched for other challenges (e.g. Year-based, Miscellaneous-based, etc.) are not permitted for this method. So if you have seen the anime recommended first on the list, and you have seen it for another challenge that is not Anime-based in AWC, scroll down to the next anime in the list that you have not seen yet.

Ongoing/Airing shows can be skipped (as in, pick the next series on the recommendation list that you have not finished yet) if you want. If you choose not to skip an ongoing/airing show — as the rules stated above: one can only proceed to the next anime once one has completed the previous anime, note that it will take you a while until you can start the next anime (because you have to wait for the airing/ongoing show to be completed to be watched)

Indicate the day you finished the series on next to the anime's title

Your starting series can be ongoing/airing

Instead of a finishing date, put the date you started the challenge next to your starting series

Note: you can watch multiple series from the list at the same time — you only need to finish the previous series before starting the next one.

- select the first series that you have not completed from the recommendation list (meaning if you have started, dropped or put on-hold that series, you need to finish it before you can move on, even if the series was started before the challenge got put up]
- Your original/start series must be a TV-type, but any type is allowed after that as long as it was recommended
- Cannot skip around (ex: cannot start third anime if i haven't finish the second)
- Can overlap with other challenges, as long i following in order.
- Ongoing/Airing shows can be skipped
- Indicate the day you finished the series on next to the anime's title
